Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand your concern.

If a regularly menstruating sexually active woman complains of missed period then the pregnancy is the first thing to rule out.

As your period is 7 days delayed I suggest you to consider doing a urine pregnancy test.

The urine pregnancy test gives accurate results a week after missed period.

In case if the test is positive the pregnancy can be terminated in two ways depending on the age of pregnancy.

The medical termination of pregnancy is possible upto 7 weeks.After 7 weeks surgical procedure like D&C is required.

So as it early pregnancy the medical termination can be tried.It is effective upto 95%.

The medical termination of pregnancy includes usage of mifepristone and misoprostol tablets.

The bleeding usually starts after a few hours of taking misoprostol.

A ultrasound need to be done 14 days after to check for complete abortion.

But these medicines are associated with complications like heavy bleeding,incomplete abortion etc.

So they need to be taken under strict medical supervision to avoid complications.

In case if the test is negative I suggest you to repeat the test after a week.
If the repeat test is also negative then the pregnancy is ruled out and the delay is attributed to stress induced hormonal imbalance.

So relax and consider doing the urine pregnancy test.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
